Additional results are presented concerning a study that consider improvements over present Earth Rotation Parameter (ERP) determination methods by directly combining observations from various space geodetic systems in one adjustment. Earlier
results are extended, showing that in addition to slight improvements in accuracy substantial (a factor of three or more)
improvements in precision and significant reductions in correlations between various parameters can be obtained (by combining
Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR), Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) to Lageos, and Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) data in one adjustment) as compared to results from individual systems. Smaller improvements are also seen over the weighted
means of the individual system results. Although data transmission would not be significantly reduced, negligible additional
computer time would be required if (standardized) normal equations were available from individual solutions. Suggestions for
future work and implications for the new International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) are also presented. 相似文献

Far-zone effects for different topographic-compensation models based on a spherical harmonic expansion of the topography 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
The determination of the gravimetric geoid is based on the magnitude of gravity observed at the surface of the Earth or at
airborne altitude. To apply the Stokes’s or Hotine’s formulae at the geoid, the potential outside the geoid must be harmonic
and the observed gravity must be reduced to the geoid. For this reason, the topographic (and atmospheric) masses outside the
geoid must be “condensed” or “shifted” inside the geoid so that the disturbing gravity potential T fulfills Laplace’s equation everywhere outside the geoid. The gravitational effects of the topographic-compensation masses
can also be used to subtract these high-frequent gravity signals from the airborne observations and to simplify the downward
continuation procedures. The effects of the topographic-compensation masses can be calculated by numerical integration based
on a digital terrain model or by representing the topographic masses by a spherical harmonic expansion. To reduce the computation
time in the former case, the integration over the Earth can be divided into two parts: a spherical cap around the computation
point, called the near zone, and the rest of the world, called the far zone. The latter one can be also represented by a global
spherical harmonic expansion. This can be performed by a Molodenskii-type spectral approach. This article extends the original
approach derived in Novák et al. (J Geod 75(9–10):491–504, 2001), which is restricted to determine the far-zone effects for
Helmert’s second method of condensation for ground gravimetry. Here formulae for the far-zone effects of the global topography
on gravity and geoidal heights for Helmert’s first method of condensation as well as for the Airy-Heiskanen model are presented
and some improvements given. Furthermore, this approach is generalized for determining the far-zone effects at aeroplane altitudes.
Numerical results for a part of the Canadian Rocky Mountains are presented to illustrate the size and distributions of these
effects. 相似文献

Very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) tracking of satellites is a topic of increasing interest for the establishment of space ties. This shall strengthen the connection of the various space geodetic techniques that contribute to the International Terrestrial Reference Frame. The concept of observing near-Earth satellites demands research on possible observing strategies. In this paper, we introduce this concept and discuss its possible benefits for improving future realizations of the International Terrestrial Reference System. Using simulated observations, we develop possible observing strategies that allow the determination of radio telescope positions in the satellite system on Earth with accuracies of a few millimeters up to 1–2 cm for weekly station coordinates. This is shown for satellites with orbital heights between 2,000 and 6,000 km, observed by dense regional as well as by global VLBI-networks. The number of observations, as mainly determined by the satellite orbit and the observation interval, is identified as the most critical parameter that affects the expected accuracies. For observations of global positioning system satellites, we propose the combination with classical VLBI to radio sources or a multi-satellite strategy. Both approaches allow station position repeatabilities of a few millimeters for weekly solutions. 相似文献

The integration of local measurements and monitoring via global-scale Earth observations has become a new challenge in digital Earth science. The increasing accessibility and ease of use of virtual globes (VGs) represent primary advantages of this integration, and the digital Earth scientific community has adopted this technology as one of the main methods for disseminating the results of scientific studies. In this study, the best VG software for the dissemination and analysis of high-resolution UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) data is identified for global and continuous geographic scope support. The VGs Google Earth and Sputnik Geographic Information System (GIS) are selected and compared for this purpose. Google Earth is a free platform and one of the most widely used VGs, and one of its best features its ability to provide users with quality visual results. The proprietary software Sputnik GIS more closely approximates the analytical capacity of a traditional GIS and provides outstanding advantages, such as DEM overlapping and visualization for its dissemination. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThe Moon, Earth’s only natural satellite, is a potential new platform for Earth observation. Moreover, with the wide applicability of the angular information from remote sensing data, it has been attracting increasingly more attention. Accordingly, this study focuses on the angular characteristics of Moon-based Earth observations. Using ephemeris DE430 and Earth orientation parameters, the position and attitude of the Sun, Earth, and Moon were obtained and their coordinates normalized to a single framework using coordinate transformations between the related reference systems. Then, an angular geometric model of Moon-based Earth observations was constructed, and the corresponding angular algorithms were presented. The results revealed the angular range and distribution characteristics of Moon-based Earth observations. For every point on the surface of the Earth, the view and solar zenith angles all vary widely, which decreases with increasing latitude. The view and solar zenith angles all vary widely with the largest range of values in the equatorial and polar regions and a smaller range of values in mid-latitudes. Furthermore, the range of solar angles of Moon-based Earth observations is the same as that of all-time solar angles, indicating the potential for monitoring and understanding large-scale geoscientific phenomena using Moon-based Earth observations. 相似文献

Global Ionosphere Maps of VTEC from GNSS,satellite altimetry,and formosat-3/COSMIC data 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
For space geodetic techniques, operating in microwave band, ionosphere is a dispersive medium; thus signals traveling through
this medium are in the first approximation affected proportional to inverse of the square of their frequencies. This effect
allows gaining information about the parameters of the ionosphere in terms of Total Electron Content (TEC) or the electron
density (N
e
). TEC or electron density can then be expressed by means of spherical harmonic base functions to provide a Global Ionosphere
Map (GIM). The classical input data for development of GIMs are obtained from dual-frequency observations carried out at Global
Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) stations. However, GNSS stations are in-homogeneously distributed around the world, with
large gaps particularly over the oceans; this fact reduces the precision of the GIM over these areas. On the other hand, dual-frequency
satellite altimetry missions such as Jason-1 provide information about the ionosphere precisely above the oceans; and furthermore
Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellites, such as Formosat-3/COSMIC (F/C) provide well-distributed information of ionosphere globally.
This study investigates on global modeling of TEC through combining GNSS and satellite altimetry data with global TEC data
derived from the occultation measurements of the F/C mission. The combined GIMs of vertical TEC (VTEC) show a maximum difference
of 1.3–1.7 TEC units (TECU) with respect to the GNSS-only GIMs in the whole day. The root mean square error (RMS) maps of
combined solution show a reduction of about 0.1 TECU in the whole day. This decrease of RMS can reach up to 0.5 TECU in areas
where no or few GNSS observations are available, but high number of F/C measurement is carried out. This proves that the combined
GIMs provide a more homogeneous global coverage and higher reliability than results of each single method. All comparisons
and validations made within this study provide vital information regarding combination and integration of various observation
techniques in the Global Geodetic Observing System of the International Association of Geodesy. 相似文献

Abstract The vision of a Digital Earth calls for more dynamic information systems, new sources of information, and stronger capabilities for their integration. Sensor networks have been identified as a major information source for the Digital Earth, while Semantic Web technologies have been proposed to facilitate integration. So far, sensor data are stored and published using the Observations & Measurements standard of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) as data model. With the advent of Volunteered Geographic Information and the Semantic Sensor Web, work on an ontological model gained importance within Sensor Web Enablement (SWE). In contrast to data models, an ontological approach abstracts from implementation details by focusing on modeling the physical world from the perspective of a particular domain. Ontologies restrict the interpretation of vocabularies toward their intended meaning. The ongoing paradigm shift to Linked Sensor Data complements this attempt. Two questions have to be addressed: (1) how to refer to changing and frequently updated data sets using Uniform Resource Identifiers, and (2) how to establish meaningful links between those data sets, that is, observations, sensors, features of interest, and observed properties? In this paper, we present a Linked Data model and a RESTful proxy for OGC's Sensor Observation Service to improve integration and inter-linkage of observation data for the Digital Earth. 相似文献

The analysis of lunar laser ranging (LLR) data enables the determination of many parameters of the Earth–Moon system, such
as lunar gravity coefficients, reflector and station coordinates which contribute to the realisation of the International
Terrestrial Reference Frame 2000 (ITRF 2000), Earth orientation parameters [EOPs, which contribute to the global EOP solutions
at the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS)] or quantities which parameterise relativistic effects in the solar system.
The big advantage of LLR is the long time span of lunar observations (1970–2000). The accuracy of the normal points nowadays
is about 1 cm.
The capability of LLR to determine tidal parameters is investigated. In principle, it could be assumed that LLR would contribute
greatly to the investigation of tidal effects, because the Moon is the most important tide-generating body. In this respect
some special topics such as treatment of the permanent tide and the effect of atmospheric loading are addressed and results
for the tidal parameters h
2 and l
2 as well as values for the eight main tides are given.

We perform extensive simulations in order to assess the accuracy with which the position of a radio transmitter on the surface of the Moon can be determined by geodetic VLBI. We study how the quality and quantity of geodetic VLBI observations influence these position estimates and investigate how observations of such near-field objects affect classical geodetic parameters like VLBI station coordinates and Earth rotation parameters. Our studies are based on today’s global geodetic VLBI schedules as well as on those designed for the next-generation geodetic VLBI system. We use Monte Carlo simulations including realistic stochastic models of troposphere, station clocks, and observational noise. Our results indicate that it is possible to position a radio transmitter on the Moon using today’s geodetic VLBI with a two-dimensional horizontal accuracy of better than one meter. Moreover, we show that the next-generation geodetic VLBI has the potential to improve the two-dimensional accuracy to better than 5 cm. Thus, our results lay the base for novel observing concepts to improve both lunar research and geodetic VLBI. 相似文献

Asymptotic theory for calculating deformations caused by dislocations buried in a spherical earth: geoid change 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
W. Sun 《Journal of Geodesy》2003,77(7-8):381-387
An asymptotic theory is presented for calculating co-seismic potential and geoid changes, as an approximation of the dislocation theory for a spherical Earth. This theory is given by a closed-form mathematical expression, so that it is mathematically simple and can be applied easily. Moreover, since the asymptotic theory includes sphericity and vertical structure effects, it is physically more reasonable than the flat-Earth theory. A comparison between results calculated by three dislocation theories (the flat-Earth theory, the theory for a spherical Earth and its asymptotic solution) shows that the true co-seismic geoid changes are approximated better by the asymptotic results than by those of a flat Earth. Numerical results indicate that the sphericity effect is obvious large, especially for a tensile source on a vertical fault plane.

It is suggested that a spherical harmonic representation of the geoidal heights using global Earth gravity models (EGM) might
be accurate enough for many applications, although we know that some short-wavelength signals are missing in a potential coefficient
model. A `direct' method of geoidal height determination from a global Earth gravity model coefficient alone and an `indirect'
approach of geoidal height determination through height anomaly computed from a global gravity model are investigated. In
both methods, suitable correction terms are applied. The results of computations in two test areas show that the direct and
indirect approaches of geoid height determination yield good agreement with the classical gravimetric geoidal heights which
are determined from Stokes' formula. Surprisingly, the results of the indirect method of geoidal height determination yield
better agreement with the global positioning system (GPS)-levelling derived geoid heights, which are used to demonstrate such
improvements, than the results of gravimetric geoid heights at to the same GPS stations. It has been demonstrated that the
application of correction terms in both methods improves the agreement of geoidal heights at GPS-levelling stations. It is
also found that the correction terms in the direct method of geoidal height determination are mostly similar to the correction
terms used for the indirect determination of geoidal heights from height anomalies.

Data discoverability, accessibility, and integration are frequent barriers for scientists and a major obstacle for favorable results on environmental research. To tackle this issue, the Group on Earth Observations (GEO) is leading the development of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), a voluntary effort that connects Earth Observation resources world‐wide, acting as a gateway between producers and users of environmental data. GEO recognizes the importance of capacity building and education to reach large adoption, acceptance and commitment on data sharing principles to increase the capacity to access and use Earth Observations data. This article presents “Bringing GEOSS services into practice” (BGSIP), an integrated set of teaching material and software to facilitate the publication and use of environmental data through standardized discovery, view, download, and processing services, further facilitating the registration of data into GEOSS. So far, 520 participants in 10 countries have been trained using this material, leading to numerous Spatial Data Infrastructure implementations and 1,000 tutorial downloads. This workshop lowers the entry barriers for both data providers and users, facilitates the development of technical skills, and empowers people. 相似文献

Methodology for the combination of sub-daily Earth rotation from GPS and VLBI observations 总被引:3,自引:3,他引:0
A combination procedure of Earth orientation parameters from Global Positioning System (GPS) and Very Long Baseline Interferometry
(VLBI) observations was developed on the basis of homogeneous normal equation systems. The emphasis and purpose of the combination
was the determination of sub-daily polar motion (PM) and universal time (UT1) for a long time-span of 13 years. Time series
with an hourly resolution and a model for tidal variations of PM and UT1-TAI (dUT1) were estimated. In both cases, 14-day
nutation corrections were estimated simultaneously with the ERPs. Due to the combination procedure, it was warranted that
the strengths of both techniques were preserved. At the same time, only a minimum of de-correlating or stabilizing constraints
were necessary. Hereby, a PM time series was determined, whose precision is mainly dominated by GPS observations. However,
this setup benefits from the fact that VLBI delivered nutation and dUT1 estimates at the same time. An even bigger enhancement
can be seen for the dUT1 estimation, where the high-frequency variations are provided by GPS, while the long term trend is
defined by VLBI. The estimated combined tidal PM and dUT1 model was predominantly determined from the GPS observations. Overall,
the combined tidal model for the first time completely comprises the geometrical benefits of VLBI and GPS observations. In
terms of root mean squared (RMS) differences, the tidal amplitudes agree with other empirical single-technique tidal models
below 4 μas in PM and 0.25 μs in dUT1. The noise floor of the tidal ERP model was investigated in three ways resulting in about 1 μas for diurnal PM and 0.07 μs for diurnal dUT1 while the semi-diurnal components have a slightly better accuracy. 相似文献

Two long time series were analysed: the C01 series of the International Earth Rotation Service and the pole series obtained
by re-analysis of the classical astronomical observations using the HIPPARCOS reference frame. The linear drift of the pole
was determined to be 3.31 ± 0.05 milliarcseconds/year towards 76.1 ± 0.80° west longitude. For the least-squares fit the a priori correlations between simultaneous pole coordinates x
p
, y
p
were taken into account, and the weighting function was calculated by estimating empirical variance components. The decadal
variations of the pole path were investigated by Fourier and wavelet analysis. Using sliding windows, the periods and amplitudes
of the Chandler wobble and annual wobble were determined. Typical periods in the variable Chandler wobble and annual wobble
parameters were obtained from wavelet analyses.

Low-low satellite-to-satellite tracking: a comparison between analytical linear orbit perturbation theory and numerical integration 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
P.N.A.M. Visser 《Journal of Geodesy》2005,79(1-3):160-166
Low-low satellite-to-satellite tracking (ll-SST) range-rate observations have been predicted by two methods: one based on a linear perturbation theory in combination with the Hill equations, and one based on solving the equations of motion of two low-flying satellites by numerical integration. The two methods produce almost equivalent Fourier spectra of the range-rate observations after properly taking into account a few resonant terms. For a typical GRACE-type configuration, where the two satellites trail each other at a distance of 300 km at an altitude of 460 km, and in the presence of the EGM96 gravity field model, complete to spherical harmonic degree and order 70, the agreement between the Fourier spectra is about 1 mm/s compared to a root-mean-square (RMS) value of more than 220 mm/s for the range-rate signal. The discrepancy of 1 mm/s can be reduced significantly when not taking into account perturbations caused by the J2 term. Excluding the J2 term, the agreement between the two methods improves to 0.4 mm/s compared to a RMS value of 6 mm/s for the range-rate signal. These values are 0.01 and 2.3 mm/s when ignoring the spectrum for frequencies below two cycles per orbital revolution, reducing the discrepancy even further to about 0.5% of the signal. The selected linear perturbation theory is thus capable of modeling gravity field induced range-rate observations with very high precision for a large part of the spectrum. 相似文献

Since the beginning of the International Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) Experiment, IGEX, in October 1998,
the Center for Orbit Determination in Europe (CODE) has acted as an analysis center providing precise GLONASS orbits on a
regular basis. In CODE's IGEX routine analysis the Global Positioning System (GPS) orbits and Earth rotation parameters are
introduced as known quantities into the GLONASS processing. A new approach is studied, where data from the IGEX network are
combined with GPS observations from the International GPS Service (IGS) network and all parameters (GPS and GLONASS orbits,
Earth rotation parameters, and site coordinates) are estimated in one processing step. The influence of different solar radiation
pressure parameterizations on the GLONASS orbits is studied using different parameter subsets of the extended CODE orbit model.
Parameterization with three constant terms in the three orthogonal directions, D, Y, and X (D = direction satellite–Sun, Y = direction of the satellite's solar panel axis), and two periodic terms in the X-direction, proves to be adequate for GLONASS satellites. As a result of the processing it is found that the solar radiation
pressure effect for the GLONASS satellites is significantly different in the Y-direction from that for the GPS satellites, and an extensive analysis is carried out to investigate the effect in detail.
SLR observations from the ILRS network are used as an independent check on the quality of the GLONASS orbital solutions. Both
processing aspects, combining the two networks and changing the orbit parameterization, significantly improve the quality
of the determined GLONASS orbits compared to the orbits stemming from CODE's IGEX routine processing.

The geoid gradient over the Darling Fault in Western Australia is extremely high, rising by as much as 38 cm over only 2 km. This poses problems for gravimetric-only geoid models of the area, whose frequency content is limited by the spatial distribution of the gravity data. The gravimetric-only version of AUSGeoid98, for instance, is only able to resolve 46% of the gradient across the fault. Hence, the ability of GPS surveys to obtain accurate orthometric heights is reduced. It is described how further gravity data were collected over the Darling Fault, augmenting the existing gravity observations at key locations so as to obtain a more representative geoid gradient. As many of the gravity observations were collected at stations with a well-known GRS80 ellipsoidal height, the opportunity arose to compute a geoid model via both the Stokes and the Hotine approaches. A scheme was devised to convert free-air anomaly data to gravity disturbances using existing geoid models, followed by a Hotine integration to geoid heights. Interestingly, these results depended very weakly upon the choice of input geoid model. The extra gravity data did indeed improve the fit of the computed geoid to local GPS/Australian Height Datum (AHD) observations by 58% over the gravimetric-only AUSGeoid98. While the conventional Stokesian approach to geoid determination proved to be slightly better than the Hotine method, the latter still improved upon the gravimetric-only AUSGeoid98 solution, supporting the viability of conducting gravity surveys with GPS control for the purposes of geoid determination.

Summary The discrepancy between precision and accuracy in astronomical determinations is usually explained in two ways: on the one
hand by ostensible large refraction anomalies and on the other hand by variable instrumental errors which are systematic over
a certain interval of time and which are mainly influenced by temperature.In view of the research of several other persons and the author’s own investigations, the authors are of the opinion that
the large night-errors of astronomical determinations are caused by variable, systematic instrumental errors dependent on
temperature. The influence of refraction anomalies is estimated to be smaller than 0″.1 for most of the field stations.
The possibility of determining the anomalous refraction from the observations by the programme given by Prof. Pavlov and Anderson
has also been investigated. The precision of the determination of the anomalous refraction is good as long as no other systematic
error working in a similar way is present.The results, which are interpreted as an effect of the anomalous refraction by Pavlov and Sergijenko, could also be interpreted
as a systematic instrumental error.
It is furthermore maintained thatthe latitude and longitude of a field station can be determined in a few hours of one night if the premisses given in [3, p.68]are kept.
It has been deplored that the determination of the azimuth has not been given the necessary attention. It is therefore proposed
to intensify the research on this problem.
The profession has been called upon to acquaint itself better with the valuable possibilities of astronomical determinations
and to apply them in a useful and appropriate manner. At the same time, attention has been called to the possibility of improving
astronomical determinations with regard to accuracy as well as effectiveness. 相似文献

Regularization of geopotential determination from satellite data by variance components 总被引:11,自引:18,他引:11
Different types of present or future satellite data have to be combined by applying appropriate weighting for the determination
of the gravity field of the Earth, for instance GPS observations for CHAMP with satellite to satellite tracking for the coming
mission GRACE as well as gradiometer measurements for GOCE. In addition, the estimate of the geopotential has to be smoothed
or regularized because of the inversion problem. It is proposed to solve these two tasks by Bayesian inference on variance
components. The estimates of the variance components are computed by a stochastic estimator of the traces of matrices connected
with the inverse of the matrix of normal equations, thus leading to a new method for determining variance components for large
linear systems. The posterior density function for the variance components, weighting factors and regularization parameters
are given in order to compute the confidence intervals for these quantities. Test computations with simulated gradiometer
observations for GOCE and satellite to satellite tracking for GRACE show the validity of the approach.
